Granted, they Angels would be idiots to move out of a top 5 park, just funny the over all lack of respect for the Dodgers in their “home market”.

No worries though, I’m sure Magic and the new ownership would never start raffling off starters after the inevitable post all star game slide.

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:27:37 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=142521#comment-292132No. The Angels indemnified the Dodgers for moving into the L.A. market when they were formed in 1961. The Dodgers actually imposed rather draconian terms on Gene Autry at that time. They can’t claim further compensation even if Moreno built a stadium a block from Chavez Ravine. Remember, they were originally called the “Los Angeles Angels” and played inside the city of L.A. until Anaheim Stadium was built. They even played at Dodger Stadium for a while.

They have been in the top three in attendance every year for the last ten years and they have a huge TV deal. Would moving 25 miles up really gain them that much visibility?

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:45:05 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=142521#comment-292010The AEG president said to Moreno ” I said I would meet you because I had heard you were a serious man but to this I must say no and I’ll give you my reasons”

Godfather aside AEG football deal is still miles from reality. I doubt the Angels idea ever amounts to anything. California, LA county both have serious financial issues and wouldn’t touch this. I know Moreno is flush with television $ but this dog isn’t gonna hunt.

I think it’s awesome Arte Moreno has a $3 billion TV contract and can afford to pay Albert Pujols $240 million, but may need to exert leverage to get Anaheim to cut him a sweetheart deal, or I’m sure he’ll have no choice but to leave for LA, as he just can’t afford to stay.
